Annie vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Annie vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Maokai wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Annie's 40.0%, giving Maokai a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Maokai controls the early laning stage, but Annie outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Maokai needs to press advantages before Annie reaches their power spikes, while Annie should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Maokai leads by 1,497 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Maokai has a strong advantage in this matchup. Annie players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Maokai overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
2.5Annie
2.4Maokai
Annie and Maokai farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
640Annie
546Maokai
Annie heavily out-damages Maokai by 94 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Maokai should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Annie's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,386Annie
11,804Maokai
Maokai generates a commanding 1,418 more gold per game than Annie. This substantial economic advantage means Maokai consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Annie should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.0Annie
2.2Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Annie, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Maokai far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Annie should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
477Annie
1,974Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Annie, healing and mitigating 1,497 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Annie is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Annie, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Maokai dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Annie. This lopsided early game means Maokai can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Annie at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Maokai. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Maokai has the edge early, but Annie gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
